Your Day Of Birth Young Lady of Shinomiya

The day before the tomorrows banquet

Kaiyou was just sitting and staring at the window. The curtains are flying. It's really freezing outside yet she is still sitting there and doing nothing . She knows she's feeling cold but it didn't bother her. The maids are preparing and then her parents are working too. She has nothing to do except for fitting her gowns, shoes, fixing hairstyle and make-up for preparation. She's really sick of it because it was every other day even though the daily work is like that she's not fond of it, she's cheerless and irritated. But she recalls Naoko's suggestions of going out of town or going on a date or whichever she wants but to be with him. So she grinned and expressed a little bit of affection for her birthday, tried to feel more and just waited until after the ceremony she'll leave the banquet and join Naoko. Still, her wardrobe and theme will be focusing on greek historical influence

[knicks] The sempstress finally came again.

"Young Lady, let's put this on? "

"Alright be there" [grin]

She's now looking forward to it although she's going to be very sick because of the guests once again.

*****

[Opens] Her personal maid just opened the curtains, the day finally came when Livia woke her up.

"Young Lady rise and shine, time to wake up now ".

[yawn and blinks]

"G-good morning Livia...."

" Our Young Lady must have a good sleep. You were smiling while sleeping... "

"I am? oh gosh so impudent I am" she briefly shocked.

"you're dreaming about your prince charming I bet~ " [ teased ]

"Liviaaa!!!!" [ giggles ]

Then hurried to the bathroom with other maids.

Livia is her personal maid from Russia. Anastasia, her mom, brought Livia with her to Japan to take care of her.

Their families are close friends so Livia and Anastasia are on good terms.

Finally,on the long awaited day of birth wearing the dress prepared by the sempstress, the sempstress made five dresses for Kaiyou and three gowns, the two gowns are extra, in case Kaiyo's not in the mood to wear a gigantic gown .

[ yawn ]

After she took a bath she's still yawning and closing her eyes.[blinking]

" Young lady, you have to open your eyes " [ smiles ].

Naoko visited her again actually he is invited, he came early so mother and him can prepare the clothes in the wardrobe, his clothes are familiar with her gown they'll be wearing inspired by the Coronation uniform of Emperor Nicholas II and Coronation dress of Empress Alexandra, because Noah and her mom said she will be happy if he wears what she likes yet he is not wearing the clothes it's for surprise he just wear the usual he is going to wear it on the entrance dance at that time

"May I see the Young Lady? " still using honorifics even though the maids and servants call him Young master.

" Right this way Young master " [ bows ]

****

" How flawless you are my lady!" Her maids teared up, the sempstress compliments her again and again. She also came to her room so she could check and revise it again if needed. The hairstylist and make-up artist joined the conversation.

[ knicks ]

"The Young master has visited you my Young Lady. " [ steps in ]

When the servants opens the door he saw lightning he'd thought it was just the ceiling but the lightning came from Kaiyou her gown reached the floor and blooms to his eyes looking at head to toe he was too stunned to speak or compliment her with her shining black hair, her mysterious dazzling red eyes with jewels strike him to the heart. The design of her gown is so brilliant with expensive cloth and accessories.

[ ba-dump ]

" Naoko, why are you still standing there? you look creepy haha... "

He covered his face red like a tomato so he turned around for a minute. He was too embarrassed.

" For a while..... ``Still embarrassed, he can finally talk properly at his turn.

****

At the banquet Tomio and Anastasia are now congratulating and thanking the guests for attending her birthday even though she's just sitting there waiting to dance and can rest or do whatever she wants. [ mumbling ] Some other guests are whispering behind her back, she turned around with an innocent smile like she didn't hear the whole conversation acting like usual Kaiyou in front of the guests and greeted them.

[ Bows ]

" Oh my~ accept my congratulations on this occasion, Young Lady of Shinomiya.. "

" I deeply congratulate you on your day of birth, Young Lady of Shinomiya. " They greeted her with a mogery attitude it was so obvious so she just ignored them and leave quickly ".. tsk impudents " [ Walks ]

[ Mumbled ] The guests saw a man wearing an elegant sparkling vest.

The people at the banquet are curious

of what Naoko's wearing "Seems to be expensive?...."

"I hear a rumored that the family of Miyazono will appear "

"really? they're invited, that's unusual!"

" But where's the eldest son?... "

They keep their voice low pitched so they can't be questioned. The theme of the party is russian clothing so every single one should wear russian since Kaiyo insisted on wearing other cultural clothing she's been wearing traditional or sometimes modern dresses every year.

Even though she's living in Japan her father approves of what she wants to wear and the designs furthermore she's a mix of Japanese and Russian so it's fair enough to wear their traditional culture clothings.

****

[ Glared_ mumbled ]

Miyazono family finally entered the banquet but Nobuyuki was busy handling things at his side so he's not able to attend but for them the important thing was Naoko's attendance.

[ Walked in ]

Chatting instead of bowing to the guests is so discourteous...

"You're finally here, Miyazono Michio and kazue! " They greeted them with so much joy.

" Hohoho~ you look so beautiful as always Anastasia " the two mothers giggled and complemented each other while greeting each other Naoko leaves them and finding Kaiyou he was wearing a mask for a surprise. Ivan said that she will never recognize her but it depends if Kaiyou senses him.

[ Glance ] " Now where is she? I just saw her talking to the other ladies..." He ponders. It's crowded so he can't see further so while slowly looking for her, Tomio announced..

[ Bells ringing ] "... let the dance begin! "

" Father wait- " he shouted

" Ha!ha!ha! She's at the balcony soon~ go fetch her immediately" he pointed.

[ Rustles ]

"ha....." tired of running to the balcony.

"Who's there? ``She looks around, Kaiyou was sitting outside getting some rest and can breathe because of the atmosphere inside. He sneakily hugged her from behind and was shocked, unexpected from Naoko's presence.

" w-who are yo- " she turned around and wided her eyes, her eyes sparkled then she almost cried she didn't expect him going to wear the suit that has the same design of hers. She shed tears and hugged him so tightly.

" How come I didn't sense your presence.. "

" So it's true, that you don't recognize me earlier I'm the one who entered along with mom and dad haha... "

" You look pretty expensive, your girlfriend is so lucky to have a man like you? " can't bring the word 'handsome' since she's so embarrassed and felt so lucky to have him wearing it like that.

" ... oh gladly am I? " gets closer.

" Now look at the sweet talker, You really look handsome Naoko " raises her head with embarrassment, blushing and hesitating to look because he's shining. He looked like a crown prince in the novel that she read and loved at first sight.

[ smooch ] " hmm... you like me that much "

" I am thinking of having a late night with you.... will you? " she asked so suddenly.

" .... of course anything you want with me" [ covers his mouth ] since he insisted the words he said last time he can't move back.

"... you haven't danced with anyone right?" [ Groans ]

" ah yes... "

" So let's go inside I'll be your first leading man then eat dinner and go "

" ha..... alright "

He bows and places his palm to ask permission to hold her hand like in the fantasy.

" wait! you don't have to do that!"

[ waves ]

" Why not you're a Princess tonight, shall we go now? "

***

They've finally come and the right time to start the dance but before they come in Naoko wears his mask so no one can notice him just like a mysterious young man.

" The young Lady is back along with the young master! " announced.

" Shall we? "

" Why're you wearing that stuff? I couldn't see how handsome you are! "

" So you want ladies to see my face I'm doing this because I like it "

" Why you-" [ sways ]

" So rough dancer be smooth Darling~"

" Can y... you..stop talking...nonsense...I'm professionally a dancer hmph..! " she can't even glance at him like usual.

Both parents were talking about business but somehow caught their eyes on them dancing.

" How much does it cost about of- "

[ turns ] "Woah they'd start dancing?! "

Tomio and Michio pouted.

" Ara ara~ our children is fine grown up "

while the mothers are smiling and vibing through the orchestra "

[ bows ] it ended perfectly as she didn't expect. It's time to glare at the guests who're backstabbing her and making rumors.

[ Turn around ] "Nao....can we now go? " acting cute so he couldn't resist. Unfortunately he didn't resist. He just pulled her hand and went to the place where their parents were. Numerous people were just staring at them and while the other young ladies, which are their daughters, were pitiful because they didn't get a chance to dance with him, only the lowly man of the guests they danced with.

Subsequently Naoko and Kaiyou asked their parents to leave the banquet and go to another city [ whispered ] " Sia.... she wants to be with him alone should we?" Tomio asked his wife Anastasia.

" sure why not it'll be his present after all he'd said it to me before her birthday came and I approved it. "

He nods and allowed to go " You may do so, but Kaiyou my daughter use my card as part of my gift and allow me to give you your own key " [ he pouted ]

" ... father, what key? "

" Turn around Kaiyou " Noah pointed out.

[ Glance ] outside, she saw in the window a car which is a gift from her father.

" Father this is- "

" Take and leave it. It'll be the first official trip so go on, " Ivan smiled.

" Finally the first trip! " She was so happy all of her hard work paid off and gave her so many presents and trusting responsibility within her own power she can finally feel free even though her time is coming.

" Congratulations on having your own car Malishka you'll have car lesson starting next month "

" Congratulations Kaiyou " everyone cheered for her until she shed tears, tears of joy because both of their families are on her side.

" I'll enjoy this sensation once again thank you God..for letting me live up until now perhaps for my next mission I need to focus on how I am supposed to look and tell him and everyone about my condition.. "

She shed tears more but no one knows it's a pain too for the family and she's very grateful for her mother and father, even the eldest brothers who let her do and achieve what she wants.

She's a survivor coming from ninth grade to senior high and having Naoko as her boyfriend. She will never forget this beautiful scenery of her birthday and that'll be the last birthday that she will be with Naoko, his family and most of all her family.

****

" Have a safe trip Malishka! "

" Come back soon Kaiyo! "

Everyone was waving at her while Naoko's preparing her car.

" shall we? " opens the front seat

" mm... let's go "

****

They've arrived at Hiroshima and found a near hotel while he was driving

" My dad's known this hotel so should we take this one? "

" Since it's already late we have no choice but to enter it " [time check] they arrived at one am so they're tired. They even changed clothes before they got in the car to be more comfortable.

" Let's check in "

" Should we eat I'm really hungry I couldn't eat in that place comfortably there's so many ladies at my age were jammed on me haha.... "

" It's not like you're going to die in hunger Kaiyou " [ laughed ]

" Just order!!! " being teased once again

[ pfft ]

[ talking ]

" Are you done now if it's in Osaka it'll be done by me~ " [ Hmm... ]

" Well, It's my treat since you insisted on coming here with me. You said I'll choose a city for you now, do you regret it? "

"No I mean....." he has a point.

[ Sighed ]
